Maple-Bacon Biscuits & Jack-O-Lanterns

Aren’t these the cutest little jack-o-lanterns? Well, they are really tangerines and a face drawn with a Sharpie marker … which is non-toxic. My friend, Gwen, made them … she is so clever!

We just got home from camping … which is where I made these yummy biscuits for breakfast. This was my second attempt … the first try ended up in the bacon syrup mixture being burnt beyond recognition … that is when I found out that my trailer’s 1966 oven had a mind of its own! There was smoke pouring out the windows and door … it looked like a Lucy episode. This time was very successful, here is the proof …

Hot out of the oven!

About 20 minutes later!!!

Let me apologize now for the lack of photos … I got sidetracked … it happens often … I wanted to make sure that nothing got burnt, this time. But, all of us thought that this was so yummy … it needed to be shared. I would describe it as a maple caramel bacon biscuit … wonderful and evil at the same time 🙂

The recipe is from King Arthur Flour … I simplified it by using store-bought biscuits. Here is a quick summary … and then the recipe with full directions.

First, make the maple-bacon syrup mixture and spread it in the bottom of a lightly greased square pan …

I used one tube of Jumbo biscuits and cut them in half (to make it easier) and arrange them in the pan on top of the syrup mixture …

Make the syrup … chop the cooked bacon into 1/2″ pieces. Combine the bacon with the brown sugar, flour, maple syrup and melted butter. Stir until well combined. Spread in the bottom of the prepared pan.

Cut the biscuits in half and arrange on top of the syrup mixture.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately turn the pan over onto a serving plate. Lift off the pan, and scrape any syrup left in the pan onto the biscuits. Pull biscuits apart to serve.

You are a baking/cupcake genius. I found you via Edible Crafts and can’t look away! I especially love your witch hats and witch leg cupcakes. I would love to blog about them on my blog and credit and link back to you tomorrow. Please let me know if this is a problem in any way.

I always say, play with your food. Love the jack o lanterns, even though you only decorated them and didn’t “make” them!! Maple Bacon Biscuits – sounds better than bacon chocolate cake!! You really are a genius!!
